Answer: Heat released during the burning of 0.1625 g of magnesium is 3.79356 kilo Joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the magnesium : 0.1625 g

Heat capacity of the bomb calorie-meter,C = 3.03 kJ/°C

Change or increase in temperature
\Delta T= 1.252°C

Heat =
C* \Delta T=3.03 kJ/^oC* 1.252^oC=3.79356 kJ

Heat released during the burning of 0.1625 g of magnesium is 3.79356 kilo Joules.
